Canadiens Complete 4-Game Sweep of Lightning: The Montreal Canadiens scored with 43 seconds remaining to beat the Tampa Bay Lighting 4-3 and advance to the second round of the playoffs. The 4-0 sweep is the first for Montreal since 1993, the last time the team won the Stanley Cup.

Should Boston get by Detroit -- and It's beginning to look like this could happen -- it will be another classic Bruins vs Canadiens war. We fans of the Bruins have too many memories of playoff losses to Montreal to be comfortable with the match up. Still, when the rivalry is as intense as this one, you know the series will be wonderfully entertaining.
